It's inaccurate to equate Jeremiah Wright's anger at the status of minorities in America with praising some other country whose political system you consider far from ideal.

Simply saying Wright's sermons are vile does not take away the fact that black resentment and anger is there, just as much as white people have similar resentments based on the color of their skin. It doesn't help that disasters like Katrina keep fueling such issues.
